John Horgan, Science Journalist, created quite a stir at NECSS and on the Scientific American blog with his talk and post titled: Dear “Skeptics,” Bash Homeopathy and Bigfoot Less, Mammograms and War More. In it, he accused the skeptical community of being too “tribal” and not as critical of themselves as they are of the pseudoscience they bash.

John Horgan is a science journalist and Director of the Center for Science Writings at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey. A former senior writer at Scientific American (1986-1997), he has also written for The New York Times, National Geographic, Time, Newsweek, The Washington Post, Slate and other publications around the world. He writes the “Cross-check” blog for Scientific American and contributes to “Science Faction” on Bloggingheads.tv . He tweets under the tag @​horganism (twitter.com/​Horganism).

Science Based Nutrition. With all the fads and changing trends out there, what are we to believe about what we should and shouldn’t eat? Clay and Grant sit down with Katherine to discuss the current state of nutrition and how the consumer can separate truth from fiction.

Katherine (aka@SmarfDoc) is a graduate student in Nutrition Biochemistry and Epidemiology; her vision is to provide high-quality nutrition science news, opinions, and interactive content for readers and provide a place for nutrition professionals and students to contribute.

On many websites, nutrition science is filtered through the lens of a particular diet outlook or “way of eating” philosophy. At Nutrition Wonk, she covers the science and its context, not promote a specific diet. She welcomes all science lovers and those with a genuine curiosity about their diet.http://www.thenutritionwonk.com/
